Hi,

I'd like to propose to somehow store the released versions history.
What I'd like to achieve is to simplify the checking the difference 
between the develop and some released version.
Also it would be possible to perform some quick fixes for a released 
version and preparing patches.

In the GitFlow model this is probably achieved with tagging however I'm 
not sure about it and I don't know if we can/may do it on GitHub or/and 
in Boost?
A simple alternative would be to create branches from master per release 
which means that we should made a decision and do it before the next 
merge of develop with master.

What do you think?

Regards,
Adam
